This is a strong move for a Chartered Building Surveyor who wants the variety and backing of a major consultancy with a culture of collaboration and knowledge-sharing.
A globally renowned multidisciplinary consultancy are growing their Bristol Building Surveying team and are looking for a Senior Building Surveyor who wants proper client exposure, technical breadth and a visible role within a collaborative local setup. You would be joining the Buildings and Places business, working closely with surveyors, designers, engineers, consultants and project managers.
The work spans refurbishment, improvement and modernisation projects across high-profile public and private sector clients, while still offering a strong mix of professional Building Surveying duties.
Alongside delivery, there is scope to manage client relationships, support bids, mentor junior surveyors and help shape the growth of the Bristol team. For someone looking for progression, profile and a broader platform, it is a strong opportunity.
Responsibilities of the Role
The role combines project work, professional services, client management, team support and commercial input. Responsibilities are likely to include:
Leading refurbishment, improvement and modernisation projects across varied client portfolios
Preparing feasibility studies, specifications, estimates, statutory approvals and technical documentation
Administering contracts using JCT, NEC and other standard forms
Delivering surveys, inspections, schedules and wider professional Building Surveying advice
Managing regional schemes and coordinating multiple live projects
Developing client relationships and contributing to bids and new business opportunities
Mentoring and line managing junior Building Surveyors, including APC support
About You
This will suit a technically confident Building Surveyor who wants more profile, influence and room to progress. You will ideally bring:
A RICS-accredited Building Surveying degree or similar qualification
Chartered status, or strong post-qualification experience at senior level
Strong technical knowledge across project-led and professional Building Surveying services
Confidence managing clients, workloads, programmes and competing priorities
Commercial awareness, including bids, profitability and business development
Experience producing specifications, feasibility studies, asset reviews and client requirements
Good understanding of Health and Safety, statutory compliance and quality-led delivery
Exposure to Dilapidations, Party Wall, Fire Risk or Access Assessments would be useful
Strong document production skills, with AutoCAD, NBS or Revit experience an advantage
What's on Offer?
The main draw is the balance: national consultancy backing, high-quality project exposure and a growing Bristol team where your contribution should still be visible. It offers the scale and career infrastructure of a global business, with the chance to play a meaningful role locally.
The package includes:
£55,000 to £65,000 per annum
Hybrid working and flexible holiday allowances
Tailored health, wellbeing, financial and lifestyle benefits
Ongoing training and professional development
Progression within a forward-thinking global consultancy
The chance to mentor others, build client relationships and strengthen your profile in the Bristol market
Ready?
If you are doing good work where you are, but feel the next move needs to offer more variety, stronger client exposure and a clearer route forward, this is worth a conversation.
The role gives you the backing of a major multidisciplinary consultancy, interesting public and private sector work, and a growing Bristol team where a Senior Building Surveyor can have genuine influence.
